- Ben got sick during the final days of the tour after complaining the whole time about how hard it was.
- Ben's COVID test showed only a very faint line, almost at the edge of not having it.
- Tim theorizes the Regeneron shot is what actually made Ben sick, not the COVID.
- Tim believes Ben complained to his wife about having to work and orchestrated the whole illness as an excuse.

- Tim demands Ben be honest and stop lying and disrespecting the program and the fans.
- Ben admits all he needs is a positive test to skip work, making the rest of the performance unnecessary.
